Title block creation issues

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm very new to AC.

When drawing a custom title block in PM, how do I know what layer I'm drawing on? I looked at the Book Layers dialog, but don't get how to set the current layer.

Also, how do you pick the pen style when drawing a title block?

I tend to look in the manual, and then did a search on this forum but haven't found the answers.

Thanks.

OK, I just realized if I double click the drawing tool in PM a dialog comes up where you can set the layer. Duh.

How about picking line weights in PM?

Doug:

Pens are handled the same way in PlotMaker as in ArchiCAD. There are 255 pen numbers available, each has its own color and pen weight. Look under Options>Book Pens & Colors to change a pen's weight and/or color. Also, when you open a dialog box for a tool and click on the pen color, the weight of the pen is shown at the top of the pop-up pen picker.

HTH,

Thanks for filling me in. I should have figured learning how to do it on the AC side of things would give me the answer.
